Rise & Co. Preserved and Exotic Foods has a process hierarchy, consisting of a head management team which oversees operations and provides assurance, support and love (from 1 buck) to the rest of the tribe. Many of the management team are part of the research and development innovation team and the production team.

Following those groups are the suppliers, which branch out into hunters, gatherers, and others who acquire crucial non-produce items like salt and vines. This level has the largest number of Kin due to the tribe's desire for range and variety of produce.

Next comes the production team - Kin in this section are in charge of the magic process where food becomes stronger, better and faster tastier. Processing the items before and after preservation and sunning is open to any meticulous Kin to handle (i.e. whoever’s free at the moment). The careful balance of ingredients for preserving, however, is a closely guarded secret that is only shared with direct family and highly trusted individuals. The production team is also in charge of preparing a wide range of foodstuff that are not preserved, from meats to sweets, and more beyond.

The in-store sales Kin set up the storefront, ensure that all the stock is in order and accounted for, and engage with customers who visit the store. They must use their judgment to complete sales and ensure payment is fair for sold items.

Products are also delivered by (relatively) speedy Kin with a good sense of the swamp. Though the task may seem straightforward, it is more complex in execution - after all, much of the swamp looks mostly the same and preserved food may attract unwanted parties. Deliverykin must be able to handle all these dangers and keep products pristine.

The relations team are basically in charge of anything that involves communications with Kin outside of in-store customers and delivery. They are convincing Kin with thorough knowledge of products and should know how to marry consumer tastes with different Rise & Co. goods. They are often sent out to swampwide gatherings and events to offer samples and educate the public on the virtues of their preserved (and otherwise) foods, and handle organisation for various Kin events requesting Rise & Co. catering. They also communicate customer feedback for further research and development.

Recruiters specifically look for Kin to fill the necessary gaps in the tribe, though it is a role that many of the Kin take on unofficially due to their love and investment in Rise & Co.

Due to the high interconnectivity of the process, many members may circulate across departments and perform multiple duties. Tribe members will receive exciting exposure to many parts of Rise & Co.

All the kin work to satisfy and reach more customers! Rise is very invested in raising the standard of living for the average Kin and encourages all members to take an active interest in their needs, desires and payment options. Sharing the convenience and delight of preserved food is a boon for both Rise & Co. and the general populace.

Management Roles: Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial OfficerPersonality: Rise is a good, capable and loving family buck, spare the urge to pickle everything.Management style: He holds the tribe together by sheer love and is highly skilled in guilting people into doing their best (without even knowing it), due to his inherent trust in all his employees. His worst trait as a manager is a keen, good-natured interest in your love life and potential children.

Management Roles: Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial OfficerPersonality: Fell is an accomplished and devoted engineer who is horrifically socially awkward and in dread of everything.Management style: Technically the co-founder of the tribe, he is the originator of most of the trapping systems used, and pioneer of their signature preservation technique. While R&D is now his central job, he may still be pressed into service wherever needed, however much he hates it.

Management Roles: Chief Executive OfficerPersonality: Grey is a brilliant researcher with anger management issues and no people skills whatsoever.Management style: She is the mastermind behind much of the method innovation and logistics of the tribe, but refuses to have anything to do with the relations aspect of it, which is really for the best of everyone involved, since her idea of employee management consists of ‘You. Do this. No no no not like that, you are an idiot!’ Splitting her work in the shop with her personal research, her hours are largely nocturnal, and she is thus rarely glimpsed by customers. Thankfully.

Management Roles: Chief Operations OfficerPersonality: Fade is a social crusader/flapper when she isn’t gossiping and enjoying life by (unknowingly) annoying everyone else - in other words, she’s a disgrace.Management style: She is a great motivator because she displays how enthusiasm and a dubious level of competence can really get you places. She is, however, the best communications manager and is capable of disseminating important news* at ridiculous speeds. (*important things like babies, babymaking and, sadly, breakups.)

Management Roles: Chief Operations OfficerPersonality: Weep is a great believer in the economy of words and actions - and always mysteriously in the know.Management style: Any task set to her, she can accomplish with competence and flair, streamlining the process where appropriate. Unfortunately, much of the time she could spend accomplishing more incredible tasks is wasted by having to ensure Fade does not bork up hers.
